Writing exercises and creativity advice from Barrys pioneering, life-changing workshop
The award-winning author Lynda Barry is the creative force behind the genre-defying and bestselling work What It Is. She believes that anyone can be a writer and has set out to prove it. For the past decade, Barry has run a highly popular writing workshop for nonwriters called Writing the Unthinkable, which was featured in The New York Times Magazine. Syllabus: Notes from an Accidental Professor is the first book to make her innovative lesson plans and writing exercises available to the public for home or classroom use. Barry teaches a method of writing that focuses on the relationship between the hand, the brain, and spontaneous images, both written and visual. It has been embraced by people across North Americaprison inmates, postal workers, university students, high-school teachers, and hairdressersfor opening pathways to creativity.
Syllabus takes the course plan for Barrys workshop and runs wild with it in her densely detailed signature style. Collaged texts, ballpoint-pen doodles, and watercolor washes adorn Syllabuss yellow lined pages, which offer advice on finding a creative voice and using memories to inspire the writing process. Throughout it all, Barrys voice (as an author and as a teacher-mentor) rings clear, inspiring, and honest.
